After the release of Spooky Splash a few weeks back, Playrix once again releases a sequel to its award-winning Fishdom game. Fishdom: Harvest Splash features a farm-themed Fishdom game with all the things you enjoy about Fishdom in it. And yes, I did write Fishdom five times in this opening paragraph alone, so I guess let’s get on with the review before the count goes to six.
Fishdom goes way back since the first game without any story to back up any reason for you to create a fish tank from scratch. After starting the game, you will receive a welcoming screen that will introduce you to the theme of the game. And after creating your profile, you’re off to create an award-winning fish tank of your own.
If you played the original or Spooky Splash, Fishdom: Harvest Splash follows the same concept and gameplay that you don’t even need to go through the tutorial anymore and just dive straight into playing. However for others, basically the concept is to start your own aquarium and fill it with fishes, ornaments and comfort pieces to keep your marine organisms happy and content. In order to do this, you’ll need money, and that’s where the match 3 gaming comes into play.
The roots of the game is in match 3, and the points awarded to you after each puzzle corresponds to the amount of money you can use to purchase tank fillers. To clear each puzzle, just break all the tiles in the board by matching objects above them. As you can see, it’s a straightforward match 3, and all graphics and sounds are familiar from the past Fishdom games, so veterans of the series will still be comfortable with the gameplay and controls.
As always in the match 3 game, you’ll encounter the very same challenges of chained tiles you need to match until all chains are destroyed. Another challenge would be to maneuver through the different patterns of the game board, and many of the patterns are very amusing too, adding enjoyment while you play. And to offset this, you’ll also have in your arsenal the same power-ups seen for Spooky Splash. Try to use them wisely in the game especially the lighting that clears all same objects in the board.
Still, there are new things you can explore with Fishdom: Harvest Splash, and most of these are featured in the aquarium decorating part of the game. There are new fishes, new decors and of course new designs in aquarium equipment that goes with the farm theme of the game. Most of the special fishes are very expensive though, so meaning longer hours of playing time if you really want to make your aquarium specially designed.
What I enjoy most in the Fishdom series of games is the additional feature to make your tank a part of your computer screen saver through the screen saver function in the main menu. Aside from this, you can also take pictures of your tank as you progress through the game. This is something real-life avid tank keepers do, and you can do the same yourself, but with the extra farm theme featured for Fishdom: Harvest Splash.
Frankly, I suggest that if you’re still exploring Spooky Splash, it’s still not worth it to transfer to Harvest Splash for another round of the same gameplay routine. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s really worth the try, but if you’re thinking of value for money, it’s advisable to just stick to one Fishdom game and enjoy as much as you can.
Much the same, if you’re new to Fishdom, it’s much better to start with this one and savor every fun moment from it before switching to another Fishdom series of your choice.
